Definitions

  • This invention relates to a composition of matter having an improved stabilizing effect on oxidizable organic materials. More particularly this invention relates to new phenolic antioxidants and to polymer compositions containing these materials and to a method of preparing these materials by reacting a phenolic compound with compounds capable of producing a phenolic ester thiol.
  • the compounds described above can be prepared by reacting phenolic compounds containing reactive hydroxyl groups having a general structural formula selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## with ester forming compounds having the general formula ##STR3## wherein R 1 , R 2 , B, Y, m and A are the same as described above and E is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
  • the reaction can be catalyzed by small amounts of acidic catalyst, although catalysts may not be necessary in some reactions.
  • the amount of catalyst used can vary widely. However from 0.25 gram to 5.0 grams of catalyst per 100 grams of reactants is usually sufficient. Higher levels of catalyst can be used but usually yield no advantage.
  • Representative examples of acidic catalysts useful in the present invention are toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, boron trifloride, benzenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, ion exchange resins and acid-activated clays.
  • the reaction may be run without solvent. However solvents such as xylene, benzene or toluene usually aid in carrying out the reaction.
  • the reaction can be run at room temperature, but usually is run at a temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent. If no solvent is used the reaction is carried out below the boiling point of the reactants.
  • the molar ratio of phenolic to ester forming compound is 1:1, however excess ester forming compound may be used to speed up the reaction and reduce side reactions. Any amount of excess ester forming compound can be used; however molar ratios of phenolic to ester forming compound of from 1:1 to 1:2 are preferred.
  • phenolic starting materials useful in this invention are:
  • ester forming compounds are:
  • the compounds of this invention are useful in clear polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene because of their clarity. These compounds also are superior to those known in the prior art for preventing the hardening of oxidizable polymers. These compounds in addition may function as chain transfer agents.
  • the free thiol (-SH) group allows these compounds to be chemically incorporated to some extent, into polymers during processing. The compound can prevent hardening in styrene-butadiene polymers.
  • the stabilizers of this invention are employed from about 0.0005 percent to about 10 percent by weight of the stabilized composition, although this will vary with the particular polymer. A particularly advantageous range is from about 0.025 percent range to about 1.5 percent.
  • the compounds are especially useful for the stabilization of polyethylene and polypropylene but are also effective in olefin polymers.
  • a compound of this invention was also tested for color characteristics in polypropylene and compared to a clear polypropylene containing no antioxidant.
  • Profax 6501 is clear polypropylene containing no stabilizer and sold by Hercules Chemical Company.
  • Rd is a measure of reflectance on the Gardner Colorimeter based upon a MgO standard given the value of 91.1. This value indicates position along a neutral color axis from black to white with high values indicating high reflectance or brightness.
  • the symbol "a” is an expression of the dominant colors of red (if a positive value) and of green (if a negative value). Intensity of either color is indicated by the magnitude of the value regardless of sign.
  • the standard is magnesium oxide given the value of 0.0.
  • the symbol "b” is an expression of the dominant colors of yellow (if a positive value) and of blue (if a negative value). Intensity of either color is indicated by the magnitude of the value regardless of sign.
  • the standard is magnesium oxide given the value of 0.0.
  • the color index is a measure of the total polymer color characteristics and is calculated by ##EQU1##
